Spring Break in Kentucky

This year’s spring break was quite different for me than most college students. Many had sceneries of the beach and tons of partying, but for mine, it was the opposite. I traveled to Kentucky to visit a friend and what I saw was totally not what I expected. I planned this trip before the recent tornado took place and I was nervous a tornado might happen again while I was there. When I was at the Louisville Airport, I saw signs that indicated where the shelters were in case of severe weather. This precaution made me a little less nervous. This is an example of why families need to be prepared for anything. It is important to have an evacuation route or a room in your house that is safe during natural disasters like tornados and hurricanes. It’s also important to have bottled waters, extra batteries, a radio, and flashlights ready. Yesterday was officially the beginning of tornado season so now is the best time to be ‘Red Cross Ready’.

As soon as I left the airport, I made my friend drive me around to where the tornado touched down. There was debris all around the area and houses were destroyed. I saw neighbors helping neighbors and it was so heartwarming. Through such hard times, people made the best of out it. I have never been to Kentucky before but I think this was a great time to actually see what this state has to offer. I saw first hand the “southern hospitality” people had to offer.

This trip made me realize to not take anything for granted because it could quickly be taken away from you.
